24 round Above ground vinyl liner, ~14k gallons, 210T Hayward and 1 hp single speed Hayward pump. I've been doing SLAM for almost 2 weeks and haven't dropped below SLAM levels or higher. In years past, I've seen more improvements in water clarity before now. There is still some debris that...

Our pool cover constantly blows off every year so start ups usually involve leaves/debris in the pool. It would be great to have a.large net like this I could temporarily install until all/most debris.is removed. Curious of others experience with something like this. Has anyone used a skimmer...

Just bought a house with above ground pool that needs to be drained or cleaned and a hot tub that is empty. No idea where to start! Looking forward to learning the ins and outs of pool and hot tub management! I've got another thread started here, but thought I'd say hi. :)
